Top 5 Reasons to Choose Canada as Your Study Abroad Destination

Vibrant seasons, expansive wildlife, multicultural diversity, clean environment and an enviable quality of life—all these undoubtedly make Canada an attractive country.

Notably, Canada is also leading on the overseas education front. The Canadian education system—which stands for trust, excellence and recognition--has been a big draw for international students. What’s more, you could either choose to study at a vibrant campus in a large city or in a cosy campus in a welcoming community, if you plan to study abroad in Canada.

While there could be ample reasons to study in Canada, let’s explore five reasons why you should choose Canada as your study-abroad destination:

Quality first approach

Quality is the keyword in Canada’s education environment. The country is known to maintain very high standards in education and is ranked 4th in the world for scientific research. Notably, 26 of Canada's universities are listed in the QS World University Rankings 2019 and 27 of them are in the THE World University Rankings 2019 list

Earn while you learn option

An international student in Canada is permitted to work for up to 20 hours every week during their semesters and full-time during the winter and summer breaks.  For study abroad aspirants wishing to work on-campus or as an intern in any company, your study permit should be enough to help you find a part time job; hence, you would not require any additional work permit. However, it would be good to know from your overseas counsellors the legal implications of working beyond the permitted work hours.

Student-friendly country

Canada is also known to shelter world- class cities to live and work in--Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, to name a few. The QS rankings' top 10 list for 2017: Top 10 Cities in the World to be a Student had listed two Canadian cities as the most student-friendly cities, and The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2018 has listed University of Toronto on number 22nd.

Stay Options/Immigration Opportunities

As an International student, you are allowed to stay and work in Canada for up to three years upon completion of your graduation under Canada’s Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PWPP). You can also apply for permanent residency later on after gaining some international work experience.

Wide range of courses

Another good reason to choose Canada as your study-abroad destination is the wide and varied range of undergraduate, graduate and professional degree programmes available at various institutions--from major research institutions to small liberal arts schools and universities. Worth noting Canada has 100 universities, 200 colleges and renowned institutes, accredited language schools as well as specialised institutes.

These are just some reasons why you could choose Canada as your study-abroad destination.
